I have a strange problem with most of my computers here (one is 1.6L, one
1.6K, one 1.6M), which I believe is related. rtsol never works when called
from the network script with 'rtsol=YES' in rc.conf (I added debug flags,
it shows something about a timer and nothing else). To circumvent this I
added a second call to rtsol in rc.local (with the exact same flags, it
happens just a bit later), and this one runs as expected.

I'm a bit puzzled about what can be happening here.
